The University of Toronto says pro-Palestinian protesters who set up camp on campus more than a month ago have rejected a proposal similar to what protesters at other schools have accepted.

The university says the proposal sent last Thursday offered expedited processes for considering the protesters' demands around divestment of companies profiting from Israel's offensive in Gaza and greater transparency on investments.

The university says the proposal was "commensurate with or more comprehensive than the agreements that have resolved encampments at peer institutions." Administrators say they are open to meeting with representatives of the encampment again "when there are productive reasons for doing so," but will also continue to pursue an injunction that would allow police to clear the encampment.
